Step 5: Prep the crust and assemble

Step 6: Baking

This pie will bake at 400 F for 45 minutes. I didn't have many problems with the crust getting too brown, but it's always good to check it 1/2 way th...

I try to not get too poetic and silly about food. I like food. Food is delicious. Hooray!

But this persimmon and bourbon pie is something else. It's enchanting. I've made two different versions now - a muted, sweeter version, and a spicy and slightly more alcoholic version. Both were amazing. :D

Plus, the vanilla crumble on top is really tasty and dead easy. I think you could put it on top of any fruit and have a masterpiece on your hands.

This recipe was inspired by this pear and persimmon one - though I tweaked and modified quite a bit, because I can never just follow a recipe.

The version listed here is the smoother, mellower pie. The boy enjoyed that one much more, so I figure that one is best to present here. If you love cinnamon and cloves, feel free to add more! It's yummy regardless. :D

Step 2: Prep the persimmons

This is a slightly long winded process because persimmons are hard to peel and notoriously slippery.

The way I do this is to cut off the top and bottom of the persimmon, and then make small angled cuts from the top and bottom to the middle. This trims off the most skin with the least effort. Once you've done that, take the knife and trim around the middle - there may be some pieces of skin left!
